Ardeth #15

Fragility rattles our perception of continuity and development by rendering visible the interdependencies that sustain our shared environment. It frames conditions of openness in which architecture is constantly composed and recomposed through processes of transformation.
Fragility articulates this embeddedness and makes balanced interdependencies and transient temporalities present to us.
In this issue of "Ardeth", we begin from a shared, hopeful proposition: that fragility is not a limitation but a (re)generative condition of architecture.
Architecture, with its unique multi-scalar situation, from the individual to the global, has under-utilized potential to support transformative change for improving our well-being and our planetary outlook.
